I'm content without any crazy colors here, I'm just still surprised at just how much difference those windows make. I wouldn't call it eye-catching but it's design is simple and the materials are quality, it'll age well. Now just to get LCC to do so…

It's nice to see this is becoming reality, I really hope he puts some nice windows in there. Regarding the demand, I'd say if the prices for the units are appropriate for their size then he shouldn't have a problem leasing them. I'm also glad t…

I'm still so-so on the Cherry Hill project. I just wish they'd do a little something extra with the facade and roof. I'd like to see a little variation in the facade, maybe more prominent porches, bay windows or something similar. That, coupled with…

That makes a lot more sense, but it still seems like a pretty realistic hurtle to get over. If I were in the section of the township around 127 from Michigan to Kalamazoo I'd definitely be petitioning to become part of the city because it would like…

I agree that the scale here is pushing it, but if they were to actually adhere to what I'm seeing in these renderings I wouldn't have any objections to this project at all and it's not crazy in the context of East Village. The architecture is pretty…

Well that's interesting, you'd think there's some sort of reason this hasn't been applied with Lansing Township, be it later laws on the books or case law, but who knows? I'd really, really like to hear a definitive answer on if this can apply to th…

I was by it today, it's mostly at three floors, even that looks shorter than I would've expected. They do have part of the fourth floor up along Townsend though, even that looks somewhat short. They also have some of the parapet wall up and that see…

They said they only approval they'd need from the city would be for a site plan. They're going for a competitive MSHDA loan (hence the mixed income), they said that the project in it's current form is contingent on that financing. I'm torn on s…

I was at a neighborhood meeting for Cherry Hill this week and there's a developer proposing to build a 52 unit apartment building at the NE corner of Cherry St & St. Joe. The building is slated to be "mixed income," with 20% market rate and 80% …

Well, it's not going to be pretty but it won't be trash either. It will still be good to see a sizable market-rate apartment building on that end of downtown. Board and batten is a common name for a siding style with vertical boards. When they…

I've been by there also and I'm impressed with the look the new windows give it. I really had my doubts about this one but I think it's going to turn out ok, maybe even better than ok.

That is odd that the north half is zoned for higher density, I guess that gives any potential developer a lot of options for what they could build. And I agree that the apartment buildings will likely look better in real life than in the rende…
-
Yeah, that wouldn't have been the worst thing that could have happened but I'm still glad they didn't do it. Having the original unobstructed building is by far the best option in my eyes.

@ButlerBlvdResident Thanks for posting that. I actually like the look of the apartment buildings, though I don't like the placement of the easternmost one. The office building itself looks nice but it being only two floors is a little disappointing.…

It will be great to see that olf school finally get some love. With a little cleaning and the right windows it could be a really nice looking building. Looking at the gym I doubt it's original and I wouldn't be sad to see it go if they can't find a …

Something like in that picture wouldn't be bad for this area and I'm sure it would see plenty of use. I would not call it a performing arts center and it wouldn't serve the purpose of one. I could easily see the Lansing area supporting one of these …

The STEM facility is finally going vertical, a portion of the part north of the power plant is up. I'm glad to see this construction method used in our area, I read articles about CLT over the years and wondered when it would make it here. The …

I'm both shocked and pleased to see this under way. I was almost certain this proposal was dead, I'm glad I was wrong.

In the Midwest forum over on Skyscraperpage forums there's a Lansing/East Lansing thread that MichMatters keeps updated and I occasionally contribute to. There's not much discussion so it's pretty easy to run through and see most of what's notable. …

Well, I've been following along and not participating because my computer was s broken and I hate typing on my phone... The news on Holmes St school is great.That neighborhood is really struggling and it could use something positive to help sta…
